Default 2000(X) A6 2.4 SE Auto - Spares / Repair

These days I seem to find myself driving the A6 more than my D3, so in order to restore sanity and restore normality its got to go.

I've put spares/repair as the car does have one annoying issue which may or may not be a cheap fix. I need to free up some funds to sort some niggling issues on the D3, in part whilst its sat idle for a while.

The post below shows a VCDS scan and some current pictures, and the whole thread if read from end to end details the issues
http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showpost....8&postcount=20

But to summarise.

Car: 2000(X) Audi A6 C5 SE Auto
Mileage: 173736
MOT until May 2016
Patchy service history

Over recent years the poor car has seen little use, from the paperwork it was last serviced sometime ago, but has hardly done any miles since. However it was supposedly serviced before my sister partner bought it, but there is no proof.

The Good bits:

Cambelt snapped a few years ago, so the top end of the engine and more was rebuilt at a cost of many £K for a previous keeper and the car has covered less than 10K since. There is a receipt for this in the paperwork.

Everything works except the alarm because the siren has failed, including the
Aircon which blows lovely and cold on the LO setting and the cruise control too.

All tyres are in good shape, including the spare.

The headlights look like they've been replaced as the plastic lenses are lovely and clear.

The bad bits

Front OSF wing replaced due to corrosion some years ago,, this has been done badly and the paint colour does not match. However this wing was secondhand and badly fitted and now rusting as well.

Some scratches and dints in the bodywork

Some minor rust bubbling on the roof towards the rear screen by the roof rails and elsewhere on the body.

Engine light is on, but it has been for a few years.

And the worst bit, the gearbox. It has a judder at low RPM, research suggest its either new fluid needed (Poole Audi quote £175) or it needs the box replaced.
I've driven the car a lot over the last few weeks, including an 80 mile run yesterday and its fine once cruising. Its not got any worse over my ownership.

Whoever buys it can drive it home.

Looking for £450.

Feel free to stick the reg number into the MOT History website, and its been clear on recent MOTs except for the CEL and the last one had a failed rear foglight. (X853 ATE)

I am struggling to sell this, just like my sisters partner who is the previous keeper. I moved it to my house when they moved because they had nowhere to keep it.

If it comes to it, and I need to scrap it any suggestions to those likely to give a good price. Would be a shame as apart from the gearbox it drives superbly, no rattles or anything.

2.4 heads are desirable for S4 owners looking for big valves - not sure they're worth a fortune but you might get somebody take it off your hands to strip with that in mind?

Interesting.. The heads were rebuilt after the cambelt went and the car has hardly covered any miles since.

I've still got this A6 for sale, still running ok apart from the gearbox. Drove it a lot over the Christmas break on a number of longish runs to Southampton and Weymouth, so its now past 174,000 miles and rising.

Will accept offers of course, and it needs to be gone soon.

I gave the A6 a clean yesterday, still amazed at how well it cleans up for 16 years old. Shame about the gearbox issue, seems that is what is stopping people buying. I'll post some updated pictures shortly.

If no interest, I'll need to p/ex it for another car. Job changes mean an increase in commute, so looking to get a diesel instead. May go Swedish for the commuter car, and and get an old sub 1K Volvo V40.

The car is now gone, to the great scrapyard in the sky I think.

Driving to sell it for scrap value to a used car dealer when it literally nearly caught fire having just left the M32 at Bristol. I did make it to the dealer, but was ready to decamp at any second. She now sits sad and unhappy with battery disconnected in Filton. The run from Blandford to Bristol was its last and longest trip for quiet sometime.

They are going to check what the cause of the smouldering wiring is and attempt tol fix it, if its not to expensive before putting through auction but looks unlikely. Engine and everything still working, so cause is unknown, even the dealer could not identify it.

The old A6 is fixed and now for sale on Autotrader, so it still lives.
